2018 European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference (EISIC 2018)The Premier European Conference on Counterterrorism and Criminology

June 26-29, 2018, Middlesex University, London, UK

The European Intelligence and Security Informatics Conference â€“ EISIC â€“ is Europeâ€™s
premier conference on intelligence and security informatics. EISIC 2018 will celebrate the 8th
anniversary of this premier conference series.

EISIC is a multi-disciplinary conference where science and technology researchers and
developers from areas such as engineering, computer science, psychology, human factors,
criminology, crime science, law, privacy and ethics, join with law enforcement, security and
defence analysts and investigators to advance our capabilities for fighting crime and ensuring
the safety and security of our citizens.

EISIC 2018 will showcase the latest technologies to tackle such crimes as human trafficking,
terrorism, online radicalisation, child sexual exploitation, money laundering, and the use of
forged documents. Further, we will discuss why such crimes are becoming more difficult to
address, and how criminal elements are using such technologies such the dark net and
blockchain to perpetrate their crimes and cover their tracks. Such technologies present a
significant challenges to law enforcement as crimes and their consequences span both the
virtual and physical worlds. EISIC 2018 will report on and share potential solutions to these
problems.

EISIC 2018 is interested in, but not limited to, the following topics:

Tutorials (2-4 pages) are skills training sessions, and can run for half day (0900 -1230
/ 1330 â€“ 1700h or full day (0900 â€“ 1700h). Proposals should outline the topic of
debate, and bios of instructors.

Workshops (2-4 pages) are intended for small groups to come together to discuss
and outline new ideas or new approaches to problems. Multi-disciplinary workshops
are encouraged. These may be half day (0900 -1230 / 1330 â€“ 1700h or full day (0900
â€“ 1700h). Proposals should outline the topic of debate, and the bios of organisers.

Doctoral Consortium (6 pages max.) â€“ these are intended for doctoral students who
are studying and investigating various aspects of intelligence analysis, investigation,
crime science, criminology, etc. They should generally be in the early stages of their
study, so that their work may still benefit from feedback and comments from the DC.

Exhibition - Industry and research organisations are invited to exhibit their products
and services. A fee is charged for the rental of the exhibition booth. Contact
